It had done its thing in its own, well, in its own space-time-shape continuum, not in that of the awake, conscious intellect which is used to seeing things rightside up. This could only mean ONE thing -- to me, at least. That the perceptions we were after in ALL of the experiments belonged to ANOTHER PERCEPTUAL SYSTEM other than those utilized by our cognitive consciousness. But this meant another thing. I could not be unique in this regard -- but that the other system probably inhabited the whole of our species. And now I quickly understood a few things -- among which was that I didn't want to be unique. If everyone in our species possessed the other perceptual system, then I was not unique. For the first time, I finally felt at home among humans -- a feeling which had never really occurred, a feeling one can't identify until it happens. A number of things I'd read in the past now began falling into place -- things which had seemed disconnected before. There was another level of functioning consciousness! It functioned with rules and laws of its own -- most probably so, anyway.
